Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has suggested that John Simm could reprise his role as The Master.

The Life On Mars star appeared as The Doctor's arch-nemesis in five episodes between 2007 and 2010.

At a recent Doctor Who screening in New York, Moffat suggested that Simm could reappear in a future episode.

"After [his last appearance] he'd been saying, 'I think now that David [Tennant]'s left as the Doctor, I would have to leave the Master'.

"He [later] pulled me aside and said, 'I didn't mean that! Look at me, I'm fit, I'm okay!'"

Moffat also dismissed the suggestion that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch could replace Simm.

"Benedict has to wait in line probably," he said.

The new series of Doctor Who premieres on April 23 on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.

I'm not sure I would want John Simm back again, I like him and all and thought he was awesome in Life on Mars, but it seems a bit silly to me to always have The Master as the same actor when we are going through multiple doctors

My thought exactly. Should recast him.

Same here. Even in the old shows the Master never stayed the same either.

Just because the actor can change, doesn't mean it needs to change. It's nice to have interlinking arcs and histories with these characters, if they all 'reset' at once it can become to seperated. I'd like to see Simm as the Doctor again - even if it is just to give him the on-screen regeneration he deserves.

Thought I would share this here, figuring mostly people that come to this board will be the only ones to care about it.

Is it just me or does any one find the acting of who ever plays River Song and her lines completely cringe worthy? Out of the main cast I pretty much vote her as the worst actor of the lot :/ That or something about her extreme cockiness feels out of place.

Viewer and Editor workflows were improved with wildcard Advanced Find, Enter-to-search behavior, better outline keyboard selection, startup settings, fullscreen support, side-to-side scrolling, smoother scrolling, text selection, snapping, and expanded annotation controls. Compatibility and platform behavior were improved as well, including fixes for embedded files, fonts, checkboxes, invisible text, menu colors, highlights, XMP metadata, Windows color management, AppImage packaging, MSIX generation, installer behavior, translations, and newer compiler/Qt warnings. The commit history also includes a new scan-and-edit plugin foundation and color management performance work.

      A difficult position to be in. Either they cater to us users or they cater to news curators to potentially increase traffic. Personally, I wasn't being sarcastic. Hosting a website isn't free, so without traffic this site stops existing, and if you want traffic you have to play the game. I legitimately thought the title was good. Not because I like it, but because it's the kind of title people will click on. This site needs that.
